Hi Jack,it looks old, ive got a book 'Murano , a history of glass' by Gianfranco Toso, Ive just had a flick through it, interestingly, there are a few examples of quite delicate glasses,with a similar blue rim, wait for it , 16th and 17th Century !!If that were the case uh!! I suppose you would have to find someone to give you an attribution,maybe a Museum, the V & A in London, in the USA i dont know, maybe Corning ?

Someone correct me please, if im totally barking up the wrong tree, or if anyone knowsa Antique Murano expert?Jack, please dont get too excited by any opinion i am suggesting on here, Id like to think theres a chance im on the right track (me and my weird theories )Good luck,Andy

I was thinking Italian, possibly Venini, but saw an image one time of a Steuben vase, that had the same type of lip treatment. Old Italian would be an excellent thought, never thought of "old". I have some Italian books, and will delve in to it. Many thanksJack

Hi guys,yes it looks as a very vintage Murano glass, also if I have seen something simialar made also outside Murano. But anyway it is at 100% a Murano style. Very very nice for my eyes.It is reale pity that it is broken. There are some very old pieces in the Murano museum broken in a similar way and restored with use of glues, but honestly the visual effect is of a repaired item. I think that here nobody is able to restore it in a good way. May be in USA somebody can do it.But, if the piece is really so old, I would consider that the repair should be done respecting the originality of the piece. If really so old, it can be a delicate issue...Do you have the missied broken parts?

Thank you very, very much. Yes, we do have the pieces. We will be contacting Corning in the next couple of days, to see if they would like it. I believe they would do the best in restoration and if they want it for free, it is theirs.Very Sincerely,Jack
